I have a phone consult with the J clinic in a few days...so I had to fill out some paperwork and send it to them.

I filled out the forms, then scanned them to my "Lyme" file on my computer.
Then I put the individual scanned pages into a folder.

I attached the folder to an email and sent it to the clinic.

A few minutes later, I opened up the folder (attachment) in the 'sent' email...just to take another look at it.
To my horror there were a few photos of me at the beach. Yes, I said at the beach - in the water, swimming. My husband has a water proof camera and he likes to take photos of me .... oh my g0d.
The forms were there too....

Thank you Apple. I don't know why/how it would have happened. I don't even have those photos on my iMac.
They are on my husband's iPad. I have opened up the folder on my desktop and there is still just the scanned pages for the clinic...no photos in there....

how em bareASS ing. (Well not quite bare....lol)

edit: correction - my husband had emailed me the photo...so that's where it was - in my emails. It wasn't in my lyme folder though...lol.

Wow technology sure can bite you in the butt sometimes eh. I always have to triple check everything just to make sure something didn't slip under my nose but I'm sure I've had something like that happen before...thankfully my poor memory has probably blocked it out by now

On the plus side, at least Lyme isn't keeping you from being able to swim eh?

I usually do check any attachments...not sure why I didn't this time.....sheesh....


Yah, I've been able to swim, do long walks (an hour or so). I don't have fatigue unless I bend down and stand up a lot...(POTS) The cold water is great for my nerve pain.

Wow, an hour walk is fantastic. I was doing that well for a while but pushed it too far, still trying to work back up to that

I guess I should feel grateful I don't have the fatigue....but I've traded fatigue for nerve pain...


jb - Is pain one of your symptoms, too?

Glad to hear the fatigue is not there. And the walking ability for an hour is great. The pictures? Gave me a good laugh. Thanks.

Dr J accepts emails now? When I tried to send an email through the patient portal, it told me to call instead.

They need the documents before my scheduled phone appt.
They have patients fill out the forms (listing your current top three symptoms, and what meds/supplements you’re on... etc)

So I was sending the scanned documents as an attachment to an email to the J clinic.

Oh dear Girlie!

I guess you can call them supporting documents detailing your current auxiliary treatment (cold water swimming) lol. .


Lol.

It actually is great physical therapy plus the cold water tames my nerves so I usually have several good hours after the swim.

When I first was googling my symptoms to find out what the heck was wrong with me in 2013... I was convinced it wasn’t lyme because I would read: flulike symptoms (nope) , fatigue (nope), bullseye rash (nope)

I’ve never had fatigue - although I’m not trying to run a few miles either....

But - yah - I have no problem with long walks.

I have to admit tho - that when my husband and I went to a favourite place where there is a waterfall in a canyon - getting down there was easy but the uphill climb going back to the parking lot was brutal - I was tired then.
- my husband had decided we weren’t going to take the designated trail back (switchbacks) instead we just went uphill through the bushes - that along with the hot weather that day did do me in. I had to stop and rest a few times.
Even got lightheaded.

Girlie yes I do get pain now and then, mostly joint pain in my knees. I know it's inflammation related and somewhat to do with what I eat because it's been acting up ever since I incorporated "cheat meals" on the weekends lol. But yeah, mostly just mucsle/joint pain in my legs from walking too much, other than that no chronic pain or anything thankfully.
